You are beautiful

You are strong

You are smart

Don't let these ignorant fools

Convince you otherwise

Crying does not make you weak

I know you're in pain, but please hold on

You are courageous

Your smile is beautiful, and infectious

Some people don't understand you,

But know that I do, and I will never judge you

Your friends adore you

And look up to you

Those who are jealous of you

Will try to deceive and hurt you

But know that they are pettily ignorant,

And do not deserve your attention

You think so badly about yourself,

And that makes me sad

You are priceless!

And please, stop apologizing

You've done nothing wrong,

I wish you could see

Just how amazing you are,

You are not annoying, or a bother

You are the bright sun that

Lights up the dark, dreary worlds

Of others

Don't stop being yourself,

Because you are you

And it shouldn't be any other way
